It's a 70s era box in which the trend was to hide the record selecting and playing mechanism from public view.Â* Sheesh, half the fun of putting a coin in late '40s, '50s and some '60s era boxes was watching that happen right in front of you because your phono at home didn't do that. IOW it's the experience of operating the appliance and not just listening to a record. IMHO it's those boxes from the pre-1970s era that demand the higher prices (is a mint condition Wurlitzer 1015 bubbler still the most desirable?)Â* I wouldn't bid on your box even if it's mint.Â* Sincerely, The other side of the equation on value is the 70s Seeburgs sounded fabulous when set up correctly and a well looked after amplifier. Those two horn speakers really gave great separation and 12" woofers in their tuned cavities only added to the ambience. Yes you could not see the mech (boo!) but the sound is worth it to a lot of people and the 70s look is not dead and gone as a lot of people like it. |
